Grand Gives Back

Part of making you happy is making sure our community thrives. Giving back is hardwired into our DNA at Grand Home Furnishings. It’s something we’ve done since the very beginning. Not to get credit for being a good neighbor – but to actually be a good neighbor. Our founder, George Cartledge, Sr. believed in treating everyone right. He insisted on it in his private life. And he insisted that his company live by the same rules: treating the customers right and treating your neighbors right.

When asked about why he was so generous, Mr. Cartledge, Sr. would simply tell you, “You have to put more into business, into the community, into living… than you take out of it.” This legacy of making people happy has lived on in this company and the communities we serve.

Long before it was trendy for companies to be good corporate citizens, Grand was providing tens of thousands of dollars each year in support of charitable organizations in the communities we are a part of. And we’ll still be doing it after this trend fades away. It’s the right thing to do. It makes us happy. It makes our employees happy. And it makes you, our neighbors and customers, happy.
